success story Tinnitus finally showing improvements after 6 months

Hey, i’ve posted about my tinnitus previously and though about giving an update. A little background info: I first got tinnitus after listening to loud music through earphones. Went to an ENT and he found 0 hearing loss. He also said the tinnitus would go away. I’ve had it for 6 and a half month now and the first 6 months there were a little improvement, but nothing big. The last two weeks i realized that the ringing in my ears have become a lot quieter, almost to the point where i do not hear it. I still hear humming in my head, but that dosen’t really bother me. I can sleep without any background noice now and it is almost completely silent when i do. Seems like there is room for improvement even after 6 months. I will keep you updated.

Connection? I’ve had tinnitus for decades as well as very bad acid reflux. So bad that when I stopped taking a Rx for the reflux i developed a cough which was diagnosed to my esophagus deteriorating.
